Okay, that's how max does it as well. I've used it to create normal maps from the Poser models so that I can bake shading from the
SL av with more complex anatomy. I use them for doing body suits, swimwear, and things like non-human metallic skins and such. I've never found baking to be very useful in regular skin making since I can't bake subsurface scattering effects, but I do a lot of planar projections of source photos and bake them back to
SL's UVs. Modo looks like a great app. I came close to buying it while waiting very impatiently for GhostPainter to be updated to Max 2008/2009 support.
